Googled ‘brown and yellow bird long beak nectar’… Might be an Eastern Spinebill?

Freaked out thinking I had something on today and was going to be late… it’s Sunday. Back to computer.

That was my immediate guess

Melbourne is cold and depressing

Melbcat was served a warm breakfast in bed (as she often is) and is now washing herself

Ok, quick bedding change when Melbcat briefly got up. Quick cycle rewashing of a forgotten load.

When I get up again I’m going to replace the bin bag, throw out the stuff on the bench and empty the litter boxes.

Nothing got done today. Melbcat and I are being slugs

Melbcat just poked the very tip of her nose out from the doona and promptly disappeared back under

Yeah it’s weird. The Cerave lotion is very hydrating but thin and doesn’t last, the tube is kind of a dry thick barrier cream that isn’t really emollient. I’ve been avoiding the tub because of niacinimide but now I see there’s a tub without that - so I may try it and keep you posted.

If body lotion is acceptable for face I’ve been using Vaseline Dry Skin Rescue lotion which has the Eczema Association logo. It isn’t highly hydrating and can sting if your face is irritated from the shower but it’s nicely moisturising without being a thick ointment

There’s a woodchipper out back and unwanted visitors get composted 😇

Cerave is alright, it’s just pharmacy only and getting expensive.

Cetaphil absolutely made my skin red and sore

 

Yes Coles are price gougers and part of a duopoly so I hate recommending them.

But if the drop off part of things is a challenge at least there’s the option to use this.

 

Seems Yarrabyte has got on the beers?

Winter is coming, bills will be high. Do you have tips to help us get by?

Winter is coming. Any plans?

 

An advocacy service over the phone for people living with opioid dependence.

Things are really bad in my area and Victoria is the only Australian state that still charges for methadone. There’s not much I can do individually but share resources and hope it helps someone.

It's really cooling down now… What are your plans if any?

 

Prices are always rising.

What have you found good for saving a dollar?

 

Edit: The rules are changing for permanent residents - see article.

Temporary residents are allowed to keep using their overseas license.

 

Edit: Sorry, I was unclear on the message of the article and accidentally posted a misleading headline.

TL;DR: There are changes for permanent residents but temporary residents can keep using their overseas licenses.
